Yes. Though I believe that has something to do with the way it loads chunks. It may not actually know at that point that those caverns are *not* in front of your face and the fact that you can see the caverns implies that it *has* attempted to not display blocks that you wouldn't be able to see (otherwise you would see the flat face of the chunk the cavern was in instead).
But yes, it is perfectly possible to have millions of blocks in your field of view even when things are behaving as they should and all hidden blocks are being correctly removed from the rendering.
Yep, OpenGL. Minecraft needs some horsepower to run because it's rendering millions of blocks, long distance viewing is important to the game and because it's so flexible, there's a lot of optimization tricks that simply can't be done. The actual game engine part is fairly trivial and doesn't really suffer from being in Java at all (and believe me, I'm no Java fanboy).
Roundabouts lead to improved traffic flow over a four way stop and often can be navigated with little to no slowing down. They are not (usually) for traffic calming.
I was telling my daughter about Populus, a game I played on my friend's Amiga back in the day. With the craze for remakes, I had a quick search and was pleasantly surprised to find it was a Kick-starter project called "Godus". Then I read the contributor feedback. My god, they screwed the pooch on that one.
Not to mention that two-thirds less is actually more descriptive and accurate and since two-thirds != three, there has to be some kind of exclusion principle in place.
Though with a bit of luck, that could actually lead to people not driving in conditions where they would be much better off staying put. There are some people who need to travel in snow and ice but mostly not.
Hah, you seriously think that's a sane and safe mode of operation. Why do you think construction zones are so dangerous in the first place? Because of stationary objects (including people) where you wouldn't normally expect them. And you're just going to arbitrarily add to that? In an active lane?
And when you took control, did you start your engine, check your mirrors, signal and pull smoothly away or were you bundling along at 50mph and your car suddenly shouted "Think quick, Bub, I got nothing"

Wrong!
We're in a whole-stockmarket bubble. There's not many good places to run.
I'm looking forward to the "Added shark and waterskis" update.

True. But that is the wrong attitude and if it an be forced to adjust, that may be a good thing.

I hear it was being driven by an 80 year old Floridian.
Apparently it had its right-turn indicator on all the way.
Not contradictory.
But I agree, "vast" is not correct.
How much is two thirds less?
The "times" implies the multiplication, the more or less implies addition or subtraction respectively.
Not to mention that two-thirds less is actually more descriptive and accurate and since two-thirds != three, there has to be some kind of exclusion principle in place.
Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive.
At least until you pick one up and bludgeon some half-wit to death with it.
Wait, what?
So, how much is 2/3 less?
It's all right, I found it.
It was down the back of the couch.
They just need to slap a team logo on it.
Heck, it worked for Apple.

It depends on the type of congestion. If the traffic is mostly north & south for example, it can work out a treat.
And when you took control, did you start your engine, check your mirrors, signal and pull smoothly away or were you bundling along at 50mph and your car suddenly shouted "Think quick, Bub, I got nothing"
There's nothing unusual about that.
